1.      I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall,
Em                                         C
    if you don't answer I'll just ring it off the wall.
Em                                 C
    I know he's there, but I just had to call.
                             Am                    D     Em
    Don't leave me hanging on the telephone,
                             Am                    D     Em
    Don't leave me hanging on the telephone,
 
   Em                                                  C
2.     I heard your mother now she's going out the door.
Em                                   C
    Did she go to work or just go to the store?
Em                                         C
    All those things she said I told you to ignore.
                               Am             - Em                           Am              - Em
    Oh why can't we talk again?        Oh why can't we talk again?
                               Am
    Oh why can't we talk again?
                             Am                    D     Em
    Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.

3.       It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
Em                                            C
    if I don't get your calls then everything goes wrong.
Em                                             C
    I want to tell you something you've known all along.
                             Am                    D     Em    
    Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.

4.       I had to interrupt and stop this conversation,
Em                                                    C
     your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation.
Em                                           C
     I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection.
                           Am            - Em                           Am         - Em
    Oh I can't control myself!        Oh I can't control myself !
                    Am                  
    Oh I can't control myself !       
                             Am                    D     Em
    Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
               C                              Em
    Hang out there unrelieved! Oh !
